Alabastro DI Volterra is a fine-grained sandstone sourced from the historic quarries of Volterra, Italy. Its warm beige and cream tones are accented by subtle, fine-grained veining that lends a gentle, natural elegance to any space. This versatile stone is ideal for both interior and exterior applications, including flooring, wall cladding, countertops, and decorative facades. It responds beautifully to a range of finishes—from polished to honed, and brushed to matte—allowing architects and designers to tailor its appearance to the project’s aesthetic. Marmi di Carrara supplies Alabastro DI Volterra in blocks, 2–3 cm slabs, and cut-to-size pieces, with photographic references of actual slabs available before purchase.
